description abstractCumulative histograms taken from eight consecutive infrared pictures of GOES 1 are used to study the spatio-temporal evolution of mesoscale cloud patterns. A model is proposed to approximate the volume of cloud lying in a particular area. Then, the cloud volume variation between successive pictures in the same area is deduced. This volume variation is used to define a cloud development index. Development or dissipation of cloud formations can be distinguished using this index.
